RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Anastomotic leakage is a complication that creates significant concern in terms of postoperative morbidity and mortality after colorectal surgery. This study aimed to identify variables for detecting anastomotic leakage in those who had open, laparoscopic, or robotic low anterior resection for cancer and to explore their relationships. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 283 patients who were diagnosed with rectal cancer and underwent low anterior resection were divided into two groups: those with and without anastomotic leakage. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed. Anastomotic leakage was detected in 23 of 283 patients who underwent low anterior resection. RESULTS: The postoperative analysis of the biochemical data of the patients showed statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of C-reactive protein (Crp), albumin, lymphocytes, leukocytes, neutrophils, and their ratio. The performance of these parameters in predicting anastomotic leakage was statistically analyzed in the patient group with anastomotic leakage, and nomogram results were acquired. Immune system components and biomarkers were statistically tested, and nomogram results were obtained in rectal cancer patients. CONCLUSIONS: These parameters can be used together as a potential marker in anastomotic leakage. Further development of these variables has the potential to facilitate the timely detection and treatment of anastomotic leakage.

BACKGROUND: Morbidity and mortality due to anastomotic complications in gastrointestinal surgery remain important problems. The tissue adhesive N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NB2CA) is used in many fields of surgery. This study was designed to assess the effects of NB2CA on high-level jejunojejunostomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty male albino Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups of 10 each. The groups were treated as follows: group 1 underwent only a jejunojejunostomy, group 2 underwent jejunojejunostomy followed by NB2CA application around the anastomosis, group 3 underwent jejunojejunostomy after a 60-min ischemia and a 60-min reperfusion, and group 4 underwent jejunojejunostomy after a 60-min ischemia and a 60-min reperfusion followed by NB2CA application around the anastomosis. At postoperative day 7, the subjects in all groups were sacrificed. Intra-abdominal adhesions, anastomotic complications and anastomotic burst pressures (ABP) were recorded. RESULTS: The analysis of all the groups for adhesion scores and ABP showed statistical significance (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The use of NB2CA had positive effects in terms of increasing ABP both with and without the initial ischemia- reperfusion insult. However, it had the adverse effect of significantly increasing the number of intra-abdominal adhesions.
